Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Elyse Owes Me That

Theo was surprised to see Mabel enter. He fixed his gaze on her and asked, "Who told you i was

here?"

Mabel looked up, her expression blank, not realizing her mistake.

Theo continued, his voice hardening, "It's a big scandal for my family that I had a car accident under the influence. They managed to keep it under wraps so well last night that not even the reporters knew I was in the hospital. How did you find out, and how did you know which ward I'm He clenched his jaw and demanded, "Explain yourself."

Mabel was taken aback. This was not how she had envisioned their conversation starting. She had planned to give Theo the lunch box first, hoping it would touch his heart.

Now, her lips quivered as she hesitated to admit that she had hired a private detective to follow him, knowing full well the consequences. Standing there, she trembled with fear.

Theo watched her frightened expression and couldn't help but smirk secretly. She seemed much more timid than Elyse.

"If you're too scared to tell me, that's fine. Did you have something else you wanted to say by coming here?" Theo asked, his interest waning. He figured if he really wanted to know, he could just ask his assistant to find out.

He decided that involving Mabel's family would be the most direct way to address the issue with

her. She could only blame herself for the bad timing.

Seeing Theo's casual demeanor, Mabel's spirits lifted. She interpreted his relaxed attitude as a

sign of tolerance and mistakenly thought he held no resentment towards her. She placed the foodNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

in front of him, lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "I just wanted to make sure you're okay. I made this food for you."

Looking at her shy demeanor, Theo asked pointedly, "Do you really like

me?"

Mabel lowered her head, her shyness evident, and replied, "I've liked you for a long time. In the past, because you are in a relationship with my sister, I've kept my feelings to myself. Now... I just want to take care of you."

Theo glanced at the lunch box and opened it. Inside, he found beautifully prepared food but doubted Mabel had made it herself.

"What do you like about me? When did you start having feelings for me?" he inquired, closing the lunch box.

Mabel was startled by the question. After a brief pause, she crafted her answer, "It was love at first sight."

Theo, growing impatient, pressed further, "Tell me, what exactly do you like about Me?".

Inside, Mabel thought bitterly of his influential family and wealth. Yet, she didn't voice these thoughts. Instead, she answered earnestly, "! fell in love with you for no particular reason. When you dislike someone, reasons matter. But when you genuinely love someone, like I do, they seem perfect to you."

Theo sensed her dishonesty. Patience wearing thin, he massaged his temples and said briskly, "Well, you can go now."w

Mabel, who had arrived with hopes of deepening their connection, was not prepared to leave so abruptly. "Theo, I really care about you. Please, let me stay and look after you. If you agree, I'm willing to do whatever you ask," she pleaded.

With gentle eyes, she slowly unbuttoned the top of her blouse, revealing her collarbone.

'As Theo watched her, he became more convinced that Mabel couldn't compare to Elyse. He found himself puzzled over how she could be so

unappealing when she shared the same mother as Elyse.

"Are you willing to do anything?" he asked, propping his chin on one hand while a mischievous

Mabel nodded shyly, believing she had already committed herself to Theo. In her view, he had full

authority over her actions. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Then call Elyse and ask her to bring some fruit when she visits," Theo suggested casually.

Mabel's gentle facade broke, and she exclaimed, "Elyse is married. Why do you always think of her?"

With a sneer, Theo retorted, "if you're not willing, you can leave."

Biting her lip, Mabel was determined not to leave. She had come to demonstrate her affection for Theo and was not about to give up.

She tried to reason with him. "I know you're fixated on my sister, but it's not love. Even if I were to call her and ask her to come, she wouldn't return your feelings."

Theo just smiled and answered, "I don't need Elyse to return my love. I just need her to bring me a basket of fruit. She owes me that."

Mabel hesitated before asking uncertainly, "Do you really just want her to buy you some fruit?" Theo confirmed, "Tell her she owes me that, and she must come and deliver it herself."
